The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has announced that it has opted for the pre-qualification contract process for an international consultancy project to build the Phase 1 project of the Bahrain Metro. This project, which includes the construction of an approximately 30 km long network with 20 stations, is offered by the Delhi Metro. As a result, the Delhi Metro and BEML have also signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).

According to the document, the Delhi Metro will provide expertise in project development, budgeting, and facilitating the development of contractual obligations for the Bahrain Metro Project, while the BEML will be responsible for manufacturing and supplying rolling stock. The Delhi Metro is actively looking into international project opportunities for the construction and operation of metros worldwide. The Delhi Metro previously made it through the pre-bid process to construct the Tel Aviv Metro project in Israel.

The DMRC also bids on other international metro projects, including those in Mauritius, Ho Chi Minh City, Alexandria and Alexandria, Egypt. As a consultant, the DMRC is currently working on the construction of the Dhaka Metro in Bangladesh.
